DEATH or A Prominent MNKR.-The
news of al Benolss's sudden death
brought to the city yesterday By the ar
rival of Jack Hanley from COlville,
causes a general feeling Of depression
aud deepest regret among the mining
men Of this city. No man in our min
ing region has done more TO develop she
northwest and to bring to the favorable
notice of the world in general the rich
deposit therein contained, than has Ct Q
person in question. His death IL greatly
to be deprecated as IL ends an indefa-
tigable life and a career that wrought
much beEefit to the mining masses. To
Al Bsnoist belongs the glory Of opening
up and bringing 10 notiee the Chawelah
and Oolville sections which by his ur-
daunied Efforts are made famous. Mr..
Benoist was bern IN Canada in Decem-
Der 1919. He came to the N rthwest IN
an early day and began the mining busi-
ness ia Colorado. In 1898 he spent the en-
tire summer prospecting on the Sound.
rhe succeeding year be came to SPo-
kane. After stopping q while in eae Of
the hetels,he nate trip 10 the Pend
a. OFeille cauntry. TIE following year
he explored toe Ohazelah and Oolville
section and located on April Is. 1885,
the celebrated Old Dominion mine.
The interests Of Mr.. Boneist in those
regions are Numerous and valuable, be
being the principal stock holder In the
Young American and other valuable
properties, as well as the Dominion
hotel and real estate in Colvllle. The
ailment seems TO have been neuFaiRia
of the heart, with which be has beel
troubled for several years. He was
taken III on Monday last and Friday
night grew much worss. dying Sat
urday evening at O'Clock. We feel
that We cannot say too much in praise
Of the deceased and join the mining
fraternity in the belief that the Ool-
vile section has lost lie best friend and
counselor. The remains will probably
arrive this evening and be inferred in
tue Spokane cemetery tomorrow or next
day. The plans have not been a. yet
fully decided upon.-Spokans Falls

There is at present attracting atten-
ton in New York a suit brought by
Mrs. Anthony against q Miss Jean
Qette BaIlou to recover fifty thou
sand dollars for stealing the love Of
Mr.. Anthony, Temple Court lawyer.
Miss BallOu was locked up in Ludlow
Street jail in default OF 50, 500 bail,
having suffered arrest for this theft
Mrs. Anthony protests that she loves
her husband dearly; at times she has
thought it would kill her outright to
lose him. But there is some Iikeli-
hood OF Miss BalIou obtaining wealth
from the estate of a dead grandfather;
and so if she can pay the price de-
manded probably she can have An
thony. -.-~.~

The national debt was reduced by
$13,o53,o98 in April, and this de-
crease, large as it is, runs only little
beyond the decrease in the previous
month, when the debt was reduced by
7$12, sos, ,497. Here is reduction OF
$50, s61, ,5Ge in two months. The
debt now stands at 81, ,3o5, ITO, ,459,
against 81, ass, 1876, ,3S3 on July /,
1885. Thus, during the ten months
of the current fiscal year there has
been a decrease Of $50, ,965, ,924. In
other words, during the fiscal year we
have been reducing our national lia-
bilities at the rate Of 500, 1850, los
per annum, and in thelast two months
though March and April are hardly
q fair standard to measure with--the
reduction has run at the rate OF $155,
100000 per arnum.

Complete returns from the late Ger
man elections show that the total
vote was only 7,527,6O1, out OF
population OF about 46,OOO,OO0 with
not less than 100000 legal voters.
In view OF the great interest felt in the
contest between Bismarck and his op-
ponents, and the Importance of the is
sues involved, this is q very light vote
and indicates that many of the Ger
man electors are too practical to care
to exercise the right of suffrage, know
ing full vel, ,as they do, that Bismarck
will have everything his own way in
the end. In the recent contest the
minority parties polled nearly 30o,-
900 more votes in the aggregate than
the Iron Chancellor's better handled
and better distributed hosts.

A sanitary journal published in Chi
eago gives prominence in its latest is.
sue to some comparisons made by DR..
Charles Smart, U. S. AL. between the
death rate from typhoid fever in New
Orleans, city without sewerage, but
using pure ram water for potable pur-
poses, and in Philadelphia, a city
with a sewer system and a contaminat-
ed water supply. In brief, it is shown
that deaths from this disease in 20
years 1896 to 1s85-have fallen
from 65 to 16 in every 100, 600 popu.
lation IN New Orleans, while in Philas
delphia it has fIuctuated between Al
and 9sper 100000 during the same
period-the average in the 10 years
ended in 1855 being a fraction over
90 per 100, ooO. The Sanitary News
says; These figures point with an
unerring finger to the water supply al
the principal medium Of communicat-
Sng this disease.

The Newest Light.

In regard to the new species of illu-
minatiOn called Lucigen, Labouchere
writes to the New York World as fol-
lows:
=" In the published illustrations of the
recent mobilization experiments in
France, the newly invented Lucigen
light, of which a great deal has been
said and written lately, takes a very
prominent place. Gen. Boulanger was
one the first to appreciate the impor-
lance Of Hannay's discovery for night
work ; and the trial of the light made
last week at the Crystal Palace afford
ed ample evidence both of the Generals
sagacity and of Hannay's ingenuity.
The smallest print could be read easily
at a distance of 200 yards from the
flame, which is produced by the action
of compressed air on a film of waste
oil. All other rival lights were very
ANONYMOUSLY eclipsed by its superior
brllliaDcy. The Forth Bridge works
are being carried on at night with the
aid OF Lucigen. It has been adopted
by Sir Joseph Whitworth and many
other great contractors, and for purely
outdoor purposes, it seems to have no
rival among the existing competing il
luminants. Any one who will exer-
else his ingenuity in endeavoring to
compete with our gas monopolists de-
serves encouragement. Hence my
congratulations and thanks to Hannav.

Sugar from Sorghum.

In q recent speech to the farmers of
Ohio, Mr.. Sherman insisted on the
necessity which exists for greater vari-
ETY. in our farm products, and especially
on the opening for our farmers which
the American sugar-market presents.
This suggestion derives force from the
recent reports from Kansas of the sue
cess finally attained in producing sugar
from the juice of sorghum cane by the
new diffusion" process, at a cost
which will enable it to compete with
cane-sugar. Mr.. Colman, the Commits
sioner of Agriculture, has been entire
~ sceptical as to the production of
cheap sugar from any but the tropical
cane. But after visiting Fort Scott,
investigating the cost and examining
the product, he announces his CONVEX
sion. Of course it will be well to wait
for still further proof, before prOnOun-
cling with confidence upon the matter.
But if Mr.. CClman and the people at
Fort Scott are found to be right, the
days of our dependence upon cane
sugar are numbered. Within few
years the importation of sugar will
cease, and the farmer beyond the Mis-
sissippi will be relieved of the necessity
of depending upon the foreign market
for wheat. At the same time nearly a
third ofOur revenue from imports will
be cut of-a fact worth remembering
in dealing with the surplus.-PhiIGdeL-

LeadVille.

There may be more depraved locali-
ties than Leadville but if so they should
be blOtted, sans ceremOnie, from the
face Of the earth.
Leadville is chiefly noted for its
bleareyed man and sOre-eyed and bald
headed women. Drinking rum and
gambling were the leading occupations
OF the men and the females moribund
TO all sense of mOdesty piled unclean
thoroughfares of the city, in the most
0razen and fearless manner.
The Mayor of Leadville piloted some
OF the journalistic pilgrims through the
dens of vice and their experiences were
simply unfit for publication suffice it
TO be said, that such debaucherv and
moral turpitude as exist in Leadyille
are incredible.
The proprietor of the Hutchinson
House informed the writer that if a
person should perchance get away
from the main street after dark that he
would be either robbed or murdered or
most probably would be first robbed
and then murdered.
The morning after our arrival we
noticed blood shattered on the side
walk in front of saloons.
LeadVille has dwindled from a popu-
latiOn of thirty thousand to a very few
thousand, and it would evidently be
depOpulated within the coming twenty
four hours were not those remaining SO
afflicted with moral strabismus that
they cannot appreciate the fate which
overwhelmed SOdOm and GomOrrah.-

Wear and Tear of the Stage.

A sad story comes from New York
how Sara Iewett, broken in health and
IN great distress, has applied for relief
from the Actors Fund. But a few
years ago she held one of the most en-
viable positions upon the American
stage-the leading woman of the
strongest dramatic organization in New
York, not only admired for the beauty
and refinement of her art, but honored
for the dignity and purity of her per-
sonal character. At the breaking up
of the Union Square Company Miss
Jewett disappeared from public view,
or rather she made ftful appearances
from time to time, but for some reason
gave up one engagement after another,
and finally dropped out of sight. 1t is
now said that she has been wrecked
by the mOrphia habit.
Some of her friends in New York
deny this. 1t is also denied that she is
in pecuniary need, her connections be-
ing rich and influential. But it is a
fact that she is broken in health and
has disappeared from view, and the
other part seems not improbable. The
accursed demon of the poppy gathers
its victims from all ranks and classes.
Perhaps among women of artistic tenn
permanent, of fine nervous organization,
1t works its worst results, and this gen.
tie woman, with her poetic sentiment
and her sensitive pride, might fall be-
fore it as many more robust women
and men have done. But clearly in
Sara Jewett's case there is a cause living
back of the opium habit. She is one
more added to the long list of victims
of the peripatetic theatre.
There never was any question of
Miss Jewett's sOundness in body and
mind while she was settled in a home
in New York, going away with the
company only to play occasionally in a
few leading cities. Under that perma-
nent system the actors life is as ration
al as any other and tolerable to a SEN
sltlve woman. But the physical and
mental fatigue of constant travel from
place to place, without the possibility
OF home, without the possibility of
rest, works decentralization every way,
driving men to drink and women to
drugs and making it wonder that the
stage is as dignifed as..it is and that
the great body of actors and actresses
can lead the self-respecting, honorable
lives they do.

of feather they still flock together

of feather they still flock together"
Rum is the maiR-spring that drives
the machinery of all modern villainy.
Almost all the poverty and crime are
due to the work of rum.
1t causes brain loss, drunken doctors,
drunken lawyers, drunken mechanics,
drunken statesmen, drunken rail road
men. Not long since smelled rum on
the breath of a conductor. The nation
is dying not at the head but at the
heart. So the nations of old died. No
matter about his blood and muscles or
his record. No foot no horse. No
morals no nation. Our yachts may
outsail the yachts of all nations. Our
soldiers may whip the world and it
will still be true that the real founda-
ton ola nations strength is not in art,
nor is it in armies, but in its morals.
The nations of old died at the heart
and this great American nation has
heart disease brought on by rum.
OnrlsClah people, church members of
Delaware it is all your own fault that
your laws allow the sale of rum in
your State. You could stop it if you
would. In the name of God and home
arise in your might and in your right
and hurl the adder from your body
polite and why not hurl it from you {?
Has it is not robbed earth of its lowell
ness, heaven of its due and peopled
hell with its trophies? That which it
gave to they who are dead is the same
1t has in store for all the living who
walk in its accursed ways and drink
from its body pOluting mind, cOrrupting
soul and destroying bowl.

Among the many different parties
which have been formed in the past,
none seems to our mind as pernicious
as the so-called personal Liberty
Party" which is now being organized
in New York. The cause which led
to the birth of this party was the strict
enforcement of the exercise laws of that
State, which compelled the saloon,
tavern and hotel to close their doors
on the Sabbath. Under the plea that
this is an infringement on the rights of
the citizens this party has been formed
whose object seems to be to inculcate a
total disregard of the Sabbath, and to
throw open the saloons on that day to
all who may choose to enter them.

WHOLE NO. 1852.
College Lads Addressed.

What Professor Henry Drummond
said to the Yale students at New
Haven on Sunday last is we'll worth
bordering. The professor, who be-
longs to the faculty of Edinburgh Uni
versity and with a number of fellow
college men isinvestigating the religious
system of the American colleges, ad.
dressed large number of Yale men at
Dwight Hall.
The New York Herald gives the fol-
lowing excerpt from his address:
We are scientists and deal with
Facts, and it is because our religion is
founded on facts we have come to Won
to-day. 1 would say to those who
have not seen fit to join our movement

no fence in religion. You are looking
on at the fight between religion and

The Omaha Herald the other day
had curious article upon the subject
why there are so many "Old maids"
in New England. It bases its cOnclu-
sions on the statistics of seven gradua-
ting classes in New England school,
which show that out of ninety-nine
graduates twenty-seven had married.
eleven had died and sixty-One were
single, the last class graduating in 1876.
The paper gives as the cause of this
the fact most of the manageable men
leave New England and do not return,
leaving the girls to state of enforced
spinsterhOOd.
